Employee Engagement and System Alignment Guidelines and Checklists

By Dennis Torrecampo

Format: Checklist

Leaders and systems succeed or fail, based upon the philosophy behind them.

As Lance Secretan once wrote in Industry Week when describing Michael Porter, Edward de Bono, Bill Gates and an elite group of market leaders, “Leadership is not so much about technique and methods as it is about opening the heart. Leadership is about inspiration—of oneself and of others. Great leadership is about human experiences, not processes. Leadership is not a formula or a program, it is a human activity that comes from the heart and considers the hearts of others. It is an attitude, not a routine.”

This five-part Employee Engagement and System Alignment Guidelines and Checklists allow you to look at how your employees find themselves engaged with or disengaged from their workplace in relation to their understanding of leadership values responsible for the workplace culture and philosophies.

Use this document to rate your organization on employee engagement, and see how well you answer the "12 Questions that Matter." More importantly, if this evaluation finds your organization lacking in any of these areas, we offer guidance on how to get back on track toward success. Use the self-assessment tool to adjust your attitude, based on the 12 Questions. Then our leadership style diagnostic tool will help you understand the kind of leader you are and how best to use your strengths to better your project success rates.

All of this wraps up with an overview of the "10 Cs of Employee Engagement," to get you on your way to superior leadership in your organization.
